Queenonline.com have announced the tracklist of the Singles Box Set today.[br][br]The box might even be more boring than expected.....[br][br]No special versions/single edits (Liar, It´s Late), only the album versions of the original releases (no Liar and no It´s Late, because no Top 40 hits...)[br][br]I´ve already pre-ordered it, but € 37,99 only for a few nice covers???? [br]I´m thinking about cancelling my order....[br][br]

Cancel it souds like a waste of money. The only way we can convince QP to release the odd, rare and unreleased things that are worthwhile is all to boycot the releases they are trying to shove up our throat these last years. As long as we all buy this kind of collectors'itemsthey are finding new ways to sell more of the same over and over again

you know what I mean
Sounds like its about the only box set you're ever gonna get i'm afaid.
Yes boys and girls this is the special release Greg mentioned earlier this year, and ofcourse they changed it from 1 box to 4 seperate ones.[br][br]I am so happy no i can buy all the songs again which I have on both LPs and CDs. And ofcourse the 7 inch singles.[br][br]Thank you very much QP, I have been waiting for this such a long time.[br]
Please QP, take note at what Genesis did last year. They released 2 nice boxsets with all the album, dvd's and a lot of nice extra's. Those asses over at QP could learn something from that.[br]
Another slap in the face of all Queen fans...Way to go Mr May![/QUOTE]
They should just re-release every single one at a time, in vinyl. Just like when Queen first did it. I'd certainly buy that. And maybe contain a remix of the song. If they don't soon, I'm just going to have to have it done myself.[br]

Can't wait :-)[br][br][br]
Now, I'm starting to think, that I will not buy it.Why? All these years I collected demos and rare versions from the hub (mp3 or Flac), and I was hoping, they will release (someday) all this stuff with nice box (like FM Box, which is very nice IMO) and I will spend some money on it to be more "legal". Now, I see, that there is no point to buy it. And one more thing - I hope they will not release it with BIG STAR on the front cover, because: the cosmos - "rocks" (bleee).
13 cds with just 28 tracks?, nothing new.....is better to try to obtain the original vinyls on ebay.
I don't know why you expected Liar and It's Late etc. I realised weeks ago these wouldn't be included. [br][br]Oh, and it's 'Dr. May' now btw![br]
It's interesting to note that Brian says on his site that the singles box sets are also going to be released as vinyl editions as well as the CDs.
Looking at Brians soapbox today, they seem to be planning to release the set on vinyl as well....... think I would prefer the vinyl!
